AMERICAN PRISONER - AND 'PAWN': The brother of an American man being held by the Russian government on suspicion of espionage told Fox News on Tuesday "there’s no way" his sibling is a spy. Rather, he's being used as a “pawn" ... Speaking to Fox News' Martha MacCallum on "The Story," David Whelan said he believes Paul, his brother, is being set up.
"We haven’t had any official information from the Russian government about why Paul was arrested, how he was arrested, what he received as far as what they’re alleging he did for spying,” Whelan said. Paul Whelan, 48, a Marine Corps veteran, was arrested in Moscow last month on suspicion of espionage. He reportedly possessed a flash drive that contained "state secrets." It was not immediately clear whom Whelan would be spying for, as he was born in Canada to British parents before the family moved to the U.S.; he holds British, Canadian, American and Irish passports.
